Carano fell under heavy criticism after she posted that “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…. even by children.”
The actor continued to say, “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
Carano, a former mixed martial artist whose Dune character used a mix of heavy weapons and her fists to best opponents, had been criticized for social media posts that mocked mask wearing during the pandemic and alleged voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. She also mocked the use of gender pronouns, listing “beep/bop/boop” in her social media bio.

By firing her they proved the truth of her tweet.
I don’t see what people don’t like here. What she said about Jews was correct. Nazis could easily round them up because of the support of a substantial minority of the population of Germany and the countries they occupied.
Whether you agree that hating Jews is analogous to hating conservatives can be debated. But there is nothing factually wrong with what she said.
My family fled Poland before the Nazis came to power because they were hated for being Jewish. Personally I have no problem with what she said, and it certainly doesn’t warrant being fired.
And we have the right to tell her employer to stick it and boycott them until they're panhandling in the streets.
It’s a worthwhile repost, I hope they leave it up.
Exactly.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
One slight error. For years the assumption was that ordinary Germans were turned into virulent antisemites by propaganda. However, some year ago, a researcher determined that the anti-Jewish propaganda was “singing to the choir”, that ordinary Germans were already antisemitic.
This makes sense in retrospect of European history.

Zionism, as a movement, did not spontaneously appear. After centuries of hatred, the tipping point for many Jews was the Dreyfus Affair (1894), which brought out such profound overt antisemitism in European nations even beyond France, that it was impossible to ignore.
Well said Gina Carano. Disney firing her simply emphasizes her point.
Anti-Semitism has a long and deep history across Europe.
I realized this back in the late 80’s due to something that happened in my company. To wit: We have a first amendment in the US that protects free speech - unless you want to keep your job.
I would love to see her smack Chris Wallace if she can reach down far enough.
You’re always pushing free market nonsense that is not practiced in reality.
Can I fire faggots because I want? Blacks? Jews? Bipolar people?
There are rules, and the US has never been a free market economy.
I hope she sues the shit out of them.
Exactly what would happen to any other group.
What a meaningless comment.
“You’re always pushing free market nonsense that is not practiced in reality.”
Yes, the less government regulation and interference in a market the better the market.
I can read textbooks too. You aren’t addressing reality.
“The real minimum wage is zero”, not in the US.
“You should be able to hire or fire anyone for any reason”, not in the US.
The US isn’t even top ten in economic freedom.
LOL! I'd love to see that too!
Just cancelled subscription (I have kids). I am tired of this ridiculous targeting of people for legitimate political views. Probably should have done it long ago, but my youngest enjoys the movies.
When you speak the truth you get fired.
